Here are some of the tools and techniques you’ll master by using the “Big 6”:

Set the Azimuth – Great leaders provide clarity and repeat themselves often. You’ll learn how to clarify your mission, establish the leader’s intent with the endstate, purpose, and key tasks for your team and organization, capture your values and define your culture.

Listen – World-class leaders treat their teammates with dignity and respect, listen actively and with empathy. They’ll take action on their teammates’ input. You’ll get the tools and training to listen more effectively, starting right away.

Do the Right Thing When No One is Looking – Regardless of the circumstances, the best leaders always strive to do the ‘harder right’ rather than the ‘easier wrong.’ We’ll show you how to foster and encourage a climate of doing right.

When in Charge, Take Charge – Great leaders, and by extension, great teams, have a “bias for action”. With options such as lead, follow or get out of the way becoming more the norm, it’s important you learn how to model leader behaviors and actions consistent with being in charge – to establish a true leadership presence. We’ll show you how.

Balance the Personal and Professional – We are all complex leaders with full lives, but a leader without balance can destroy an organization. Together we will develop deliberate techniques you can use to create and sustain a balanced environment, taking more ownership of your time and your life.

Here’s what some of our clients have said about the Level Five practical leadership tools they’ve received:

I wish my entire team could have been here today…..the session gave me a lot of great takeways that are pertinent to a smaller area of the organization, the larger organization itself, and my personal family (I’m thinking about teaching my kids the Big 6 Leadership Principles).

Robert did an excellent job of simplifying ideas and kept everyone engaged in conversation. The tools can be put into action easily.

The application of the Big Six leadership principles through the breakout sessions and the real-life information provided by General Mixon were very valuable.

The workshops provide simple, clear thoughts, and values are the core of how to make it all work.

The workshop helped remind me that in empowering my team, I’m creating an engine for success. Great experience and perspective from Robert to drive the lessons home.

Leader role — to learn how not to do everything myself, to delegate, give responsibilities to others. Train people for my position, become a better listener. Trust and respect the people you work with…

This workshop really opened my eyes as to the differences between just being a boss and becoming an effective leader.

The Level Five event was a great learning experience with real world applications. I believe in learning from those individuals who have lived through and can expertly share their life lessons. I highly recommend Robert Mixon and Level Five Associates.

Experience is a prerequisite to progress! Nearly nine years ago I experienced progress as a friend of MG Robert Mixon. He led me to join the volunteer corps at Ft Carson, Co. His guidance and leadership led me to become a Good Neighbor at the Fort. Additionally, his abilities created a friendship for the post
